No Coffee and Donuts dude. I know all you have in your diet is rice, but the rest of us need Caffeine and Sugar.

 

I got my boss to approve supplying donuts and coffee to everyone for free every week if everyone decided that's what they wanted to do. That might start to get old after a while, so I might be able to find a sponsor like Full Throttle Catering to supply breakfast as well since we are a 501(c)3 non-profit.


It's also nice having a place to hang out indoors when the weather is bad and it's a great location to start for a mountain drive without any stop lights!

 

The really sad part is I probably have more money in my P.O.S. then half of the exotics showing up. By now I could have owned something cool!

 

and something that runs.....

Havent seen your car in years....last time i saw it was when i bought my pcar 2 years ago....

Danny, I heard you went totally green with your car for environments sake. Good for you.

 

it's not hard to spend in excess of $40K on an import drag car. by no means is it a cheap hobby/sport.

 

I wont be making it in the pcar this weekend, am doing some maintenance and getting ready for more mods :-) Might stop by for some coffee though.

 

I never see your ride. What car do you have?

 

Hmm. Import, fast, expensive, and doesn't run? Either a rotary or a DSM. LOL

 

Stock Evo VIII Used - $20,000
Built Engine Block - $4000
Built Drivetrain - $3000
Turbo Kit - $5000

Killing a Porsche 911 turbo on the highway for a 1/5 of the cost in a 4 door grocery getter = Priceless

 

Seeing the Evo taking the bus after his car was stolen & stripped? Priceless

Just kidding, but they are theft magnets. I was never a big fan of the 7+ evo, even less a fan of the 10.

I'm still working on getting a 5 or a Tommi 6 imported in and legally registered.

 

Damn that would be sick. I saw a bunch in Japan and as much of a Subaru guy I am, I did want me a TME Evo.

 

the ix is hands down the winner in performance, the vvti is a night and day differenece, hitting peak torque much faster than the non vvti setup. The 10 with both the intake and exhaust vvti setup is even better, unfortunately they chose an aluminum short block which basically turned the evo into a awd honda. Regardless the Tommi 5 or 6 would be really fun car to drive being it's like 2600 lbs and the spoolup starts right at 2K rpms. goodluck trying to get one of those imported, don't you need to have government clearance for that sort of thing, I thought it was next to impossible. I believe the mitsu mirage is the 5 body just without the parts.


I've got a buddy here in CO that use to have the TME turbo on his 8. Very fun street car. But honestly the stock 8 and stock 9 are also some very good turbos. currently I've got my stock 8 on hitting peak boost by 2500 rpms. hellofa kick when it hits and great for DD use. suprisingly enough I've been able to get it to peak at 33 psi on e85, tappers to 25 psi roughly all the way to 7K+ rpms. Currently the record for the stock 9 turbo is 450+ whp on a 2.3L stroker. not bad for a stock turbo designed for 275 whp.
